Does anyone know of any information that would help with Organising a Honey Show?

The price has gone up since you purchased one. Ordered one myself, 4 to 5 weeks wait for delivery, looking forward to using it.

You need to consider import duty which I think will be charged.

I suppose you have a good point there, ' If your bees aren't dying of nosema every winter, regardless of your test results why worry over much? not really thought of it that way, just thought of it as a disease that needs treating. I suppose Nozevit may be just like the thymol and essential oils...

Am going to try using Nozevit a product developed in Croatia which seems to be backed up with promising reviews. Fed thymol in the past which is very good at keeping syrup mould free but seem to be getting the same results year after year when testing. Have access to an apimelter and read about...

Thanks for this Ian123. It does seem very persistent. When tested they returned a very high spore count although they aren't displaying any symptoms.

If a hive has tested as high nosema how long do the spores stay active on the comb? Will I need to destroy the comb in the supers?

Thanks for the reply, the honey has the taste you describe, not thought of honeydew, something to consider. Expecting a balsam flow but not many balsam bees about.

Been keeping bees for a number of years now and have never had honey as dark as I've had this year. Do you think the recent heat wave is having an effect on the forage in my area. The dark honey has come from 3 of my apiarys.

Organic vapour mask Just bought this one which is comfortable to wear and when you have done your initial adjustment of the straps they can be locked in place. Worth also thinking about eye protection. 4255 MAINTENANCE-FREE ORGANIC VAPOUR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR FFA2P3RD...

Thanks for the replies. An article I have read suggests that it could be related to genetics and by introducing a new genetic blood line should improve the overall resistance to nosema. Another suggestion I have had is to destroy the colony - very reluctant to do that.

I have been set the task of managing an apiary this year and have situation that I didn't think at all about dealing with. We have been testing for disease and Nosema is present in a number of hives at high levels. My question is what do I do? The bees look healthy, no crawling bees in front of...

Thanks for the replies, just checking I wasn't missing anything.

Yes that's just it - if they ever do.

About 3 weeks and have had 2 frames of eggs and still no QC. Lots of bees but no brood. We have had bad weather for a number of days just seems too long without any evidence of a queen. Have a nuc I could combine them with but wanted to make sure there wasn't a queen lurking somewhere all...

Why would a queenless hive not build queen cells when given a frame of eggs?
